STINS^W llL-FITTING_COLLARS The Cause of Sore Shoulders in Farm Horses. The Skin Scalds an<l the Hair Falls Out â€" Ab.sce.sses or Tninurs .May Form â€" Treatment Suggested -â€" Planting Field Beans. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Ag-rlculturi), Toronto.) WHEN a horse has been pro- perly fitted tor hard work, the collar fits pro- -perly and the driver ob- serves reasonable precautions to avoid trouble, it is seldom that shoul- der trouble occurs, but where the horse has not .been prepared for worTc, or the collar does not fit pro- pjrly, or the driver is careless, trou- ble is very liable to occur. When the horse has a long coat o£ hair m the spring it is good practice to clip the parts with which the collar comes in contact, as a preventive measure. Ln fact, in many cases it is wise to flip the whole horse. Shoulder troubles are usually caus- ed by ill-fitting collars, but in horses not accustomed to work, may occur even when the collar fits properly. The most common shoulder trouble Is practically a form of scalding. The skin becomes inflamed and tender, the hair drops out, and if work >e continued the parts become raw. Thte is often due to neglect in cleaning the face of the collar regularly, also thoroughly cleaning the shoulders regularly, and failure to remove the collar at meal times to allow the shoulders and collar face to become dry, and then clean them before put- ting the collar on again. For treat-, ment, a lotion made ot one ounce each of acetate of lead and sulphate of zinc in a pint of cold water, is probably the best application. This should be applied three or four times daily, and, if possible, the animal should he given rest or worked in a breast collar. Abscesses or tumors may form on the shoulder as a result of pressure of tlte collar. One form of this trou- ble appears suddenly. A swelling of considerable size is noticed. It is not very tender or sore to pressure, and Is found to be soft and fluctuating when handled. This is called a "ser- ous" abscess. It contains a thin fluid, about the consistency ot water called "serum" which is situated just beneath the skin. Another form appears more slowly. The horse evinces pain when pressure is put upon the shoulder, and exam- ination reveals a swelling. The ani- mal can work and evinces little pain, except for a short time after he is put to work, until after he ia allowed to stand for a few minutes. The soreness and enUugement gradually increase, and while the swelling may not appeal to the touch, as solid and hard as at first, it has not the fluc- tuating condition of the serous al)- scess. The v,-alls are thicker. This contains pus or matter, and is culled a purulent abscess. Treatment iu either case consists in making a free Incision through the walls of the ab- scess at the lowest part, to allow freo escape of the contents, and then flushing out well three or four times daily until healed, with a five per cent, solution in water, of one of the coal tar antiseptics or carbolic acid. In this case the patient must have rest, or be worked in a breast collar. Another condition from lik» causes is a fibrous tumor. This forms slowly, is more or less sore, in fact acts much the same as a purulent abscess. In some cases it is not pos- sible to diagnose definitely between a tumor and a purulent abscess with very thick walls, without exploring. A small incision is made right into the centre of the eulargement. If even a very little pus be present it will yield to the treatment tor an abscess, but if no pus be present the only treatment is dissection. The whole fibrous growth must be care- fully dissected out, the wound stitch- ed, except a portion at ihe bottom to allow escape of pus which forms during the healing process, and treated as an abscess. â€" Dr. J. H. Reed, O. A. College, Guelph. Planting Field Beans. Of the various kinds of field beans the greatest demand is for the Com- mou White, of which there are sev- eral named varieties such as Early Wonder, Scholfield, Elliott, etc. It Is important to secure an early strain, to test the germination, and to plant early in the month of June. Field beans are grown successfully on a great variety of soils. They do particularly well on fertile land which may be classed as loam, sandy- loam, gravelly loam, or gravelly clay. All soils for bean production should be well underdrained either naturally or artificially. With proper drainage even clay soils have produc- ed beans satisfactorily in regard to both yield and quality. Beans do particularly well after clover or grass sod and are frequently tollowed by winter wheat in some localities and by spring grains iu other sections. It is of great Importance to have the land thoroughly cultivated and a seed bed which is both moist and mellow. In tho^e sectiens i^ere field beans are grown extensively, bean planters are sometimes employed. On the ma- jority of farms, however, the beans are planted with an ordinary grain drill by using every fourth tube. Three pecks per acre of the pea beans are usually planted on average soil. If the soil is particularly rich, how- ever, the quantity might be reduced slightly. When the tops of the grow- ing crop are dry the beans should be cultivated occasionally throughout the season to destroy the 'weeds and to form a fine surface mulch. Dr C. A. Za vlts. O. A.
